1. Equalization (EQ): This adjusts the tonal balance of the sound system.
2. Compression: This reduces the dynamic range of a signal, helping to smooth out a performance and keep it consistent.
3. Delay: This technique is used to time-align multiple sound sources, especially in venues with large distances between speakers.
4. Phase cancellation: This is used to minimize phase cancellations, which occur when sound waves from multiple sources interfere with each other and cancel each other out.
5. Feedback elimination: This is used to prevent feedback, which occurs when a sound from a speaker is picked up by a microphone and fed back into the system, resulting in a high-pitched squeal.
6. Room acoustics: The room in which the performance takes place has a major impact on the sound quality. Acoustic treatments such as sound-absorbing panels and diffusion devices can be used to improve the overall acoustic profile of a room.
7. Microphone placement: The position of microphones has a significant impact on the sound quality. The correct placement can result in a good signal-to-noise ratio and minimize background noise.
8. Sound system design: The type and design of the sound system used can have a profound impact on the sound quality. Properly designed systems can minimize distortion, improve intelligibility, and create an immersive experience for the audience.
